Some cool stats/info:
- Mercedes had the most vehicles in the video with a strength-to-weight ratio equal to or above 6.00
- 2016 Mercedes C-class had the highest STWR of 7.00
- Neglecting the old BMW 5 Series which had the worst STWR (4.04) in the video, out of the newer vehicles (2016-2020) with the lowest STWR was the Tesla Modle S (4.33).
- The Tesla Model 3 which is a lower-tier & cheaper vehicle compared to the Tesla Model S displays a stronger roof structure and strength
- All vehicles are given a G rating for good as they pass IIHS's standards for recommended roof structural strength in order to keep passengers safe in a rollover and potentially other roof-related accidents.
This test is conducted to analyse the force a vehicle can handle if it happened to roll over. The STWR is the most important metric because the weight of the car adds to the impact force when rolling over and the roof structure needs to be able to withstand the total force in order to keep the passengers safe.
The tests conducted have vehicle models from different years however it can be taken as a reference if the model doesn't change much structurally throughout the years. Check out the IIHS website for more information.
This was kinda satisfying
Hey guys, check of the description for some extra stats on this video. This video took a while to put together so please like and subscribe to show support. Then I can upload a compilation of Toyota, Kia, Nissan and other car makes!
Comment any other interesting stats you find
Remember that Teslas have an all glass roof.
I have watched a video on UA-cam where a Volkswagen just gets a dent when pressed with 15000 pound of force is that correct.
I believe so, could have been a fluke with the way the force had distributed across the roof
@@H.K_R nah it was the same way these are being tested . The other cars in that video like the kia and etc got completely crushed from the roof.
@@ashishvishwas9952 Well, it was impressive for a VW. Compared to the equivalent Sportage at the time that did crumbled like a house of cards.
@@H.K_R yup
It was the VW Tiguan
WOw benz are the strongest.
What about those rumors floating around the web about how Tesla broke the machine?????
That was 2013... look it up
@@beilksterI know but are they true?
@@Mabeylater293 yes. NHTSA said they broke their roof tester when testing a tesla.
@beilkster it is not this roof tester. The mentioned machine is what flips the car and make the car roll over several times, but as the model s did not flip, the machine broke.
I would like to see ceash force NUMBERS not just 4 or 5 star rating or GOOD , ACCEPTABLE ,MARGINAL ,POOR
Tesla literally doesn’t rollover lol
It can and it does. Very difficult but at high speeds it can. Search on UA-cam you'll see.
